Well, I guess book a flight for me.

That might be more expensive than just having the fee.

Is there any pitch you want to make for working at GDM in particular?

All right, we should wrap up.

I think for final question, I'll throw you a real hard ball that came in from the audience.

How do you maintain such a nice and positive spirit in these troubled times, Rohan?

My guest today has been Rohan Shah.

Thanks so much for coming on the 80,000 Hours Podcast, Rohan.

Thanks a lot, Rob.

It was great to be here.

Hey everyone, Rob here with some personal news, at least if 80,000 hours counts as a person.

We have a new book out.

It's called 80,000 hours, how to have a fulfilling career that does good.

And Penguin just published it around the world.

A lot of listeners don't actually know this, but 80,000 hours has been running since 2012, trying to help people have a much larger social impact with their career while doing something that also delivers them hopefully a wonderful and well-rounded life.

And this is the single most developed expression of the many ideas that we've been coming up with and honing since then, written up by our founder, Benjamin Todd.

It covers all kinds of angles on the career and social impact topics, including the evidence on what makes for an ideal job, how much good an individual can actually do and how we could know that, how to correctly choose which global problem to focus on solving, which specific skills enable you to help the most people or help people the most.

how much income you need to be happy how to become so valuable they can't ignore you how to balance the risks of going with your gut instinct against the risks of ignoring your gut instinct when to aim higher in your career versus when to decide to settle instead how to find a career that fits your idiosyncratic strengths and weaknesses in particular and how to best break into a field and actually get the job that you want once you've decided on a direction

Our latest editions naturally have a particular focus on AI, which is upending lots of people's career plans and forcing a lot of people to rethink what they're expecting to do.

If you're worried about AI yourself, the chapter covering which skills will be most valuable in the future goes through a lot of kind of intuitive ideas, which I think might justify picking up the book just by themselves.
